Boston, MA - January 2, 2014 - Coverys is pleased to announce the expansion of its Coverys Protection Plus® Regulatory Liability and Information Security and Privacy Coverage to facilities. Coverys Protection Plus now provides facilities with the protection they need in the event of a regulatory issue or data security breach – risks that can lead to extensive, reputation- damaging claims. Coverys Protection Plus is Coverys’ way of offering extra coverage above and beyond its traditional policies. Facilities now receive this coverage without charge at basic limits and also have the option of purchasing additional limits with flexible deductibles. Further, individual, corporation and group policies also have the option of purchasing additional limits with flexible deductibles.

Coverys Protection Plus’ Regulatory Liability and Information Security and Privacy Coverage includes services such as experienced attorneys and comprehensive support throughout the process of a claim. By including this coverage in policies, Coverys hopes to help policyholders and facilities focus on providing the best care possible to patients by alleviating some of the burden and stress of such risks, and claims that may result.

“As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, we strive to provide our policyholders with the best available coverage in the industry. Making Coverys Protection Plus’ Regulatory Liability and Information Security and Privacy Coverage available to facilities ensures that we are providing our policyholders with peace of mind during a time of uncertainty,” said Joe R.
